Converter is broken, so will hand-enter this.
Loose-passive $1/2 table at Absolute Poker. Yes, there are loose tables there; this one is running about 50% flop rate for the table, and only one hand in three or four is being raised preflop.
Hero is CO with /images/graemlins/club.gifK/images/graemlins/club.gif6.
Normally this is a turbomuck for me even on the button. I was feeling whimsical, and the table wasn't raising much, so, what the hey....
UTG calls, 1 fold, MP1 and MP2 call, 1 fold, Hero calls against his better judgment, button folds, SB completes, BB checks.
Flop: /images/graemlins/spade.gif6 /images/graemlins/heart.gif4 /images/graemlins/heart.gif3 (6SB, 6 players)
check, check, check, MP1 bets, MP2 calls, Hero...
MP1 and MP2 have both chased weak draws without the odds and played some substandard hands but they don't play any two cards.
It's a fold or raise situation obviously. Which do you do?
Hero raised with a bad taste in his mouth. SB calls two, fold, fold, call, call.
Turn: /images/graemlins/diamond.gif8 (4 players, 7 BB)
Check, check, check.
It's one of the less scary overcards that could come. It didn't complete any sane straight draws. it didn't help the heart draws. I may not be ahead, but it's critical not to give a free card, isnt it, especially to people who go too far with weak draws?
So, the taste in my mouth got worse....
Hero bets, fold, call, call.
River: /images/graemlins/diamond.gifQ (9.5 BB after rake, 3 players.)
A little bit scarier overcard - but didn't help anyone on a draw.
Check, check.
Does hero check? Or is there any point in betting and seeing if 77 folds or A4 calls down?
Comments welcome about any street (except the preflop, which I already admit is below my usual standard. Don't bother repleating that.)
